Art-Net™ Connection
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP that transfers a large amount of DMX512 data using a
Neutrik RJ45 connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is available from
www.chauvetprofessional.com.
Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
sACN Connection
Streaming ACN, also known as ANSI E1.31, is an Ethernet protocol that uses the layering and formatting of
Architecture for Control Networks to transport DMX512 data over IP or any other ACN-compatible network.
Remote Device Management
Remote Device Management (RDM) is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bi-
directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller's User Manual or with the manufacturer
as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The COLORado PXL Curve 12 supports RDM protocol that
allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
